Prince Feyi Soyewo is the Chairman of Nigeria’s most popular insurance firms “Prestige Insurance Brokers Ltd”. He has urged every Nigerian citizen to plan for life after lockdown that he called “The Virtual Syndrome”.
Prince Soyewo, who is Ago Iwoye’s Oloori Omo Oba and Asiwaju Onigbagbo, has further emphasized that “because of Covid-19 crises our lives have shifted drastically to digital.
He says, ‘Covid-19 has really served as an eye-opener for all & sundry and we need to use digital life more frequently. In response to this new development caused by the crisis in Covid-19, people use the internet to work, learn and socialize.
While Students are encouraged to take online courses, teachers/professors record their online lectures, employers have online network meetings with their employees: zoom, teams, etc. Family & Friends, both at home and abroad, have imbibed the FaceTime app culture to communicate, banks are making efforts to get us right strictly with online banking, logistics companies can no longer deal with an online purchasing spree, which means more delivery services have to be put in place. Covid-19 has, for one thing, really moved us into digital life and people need to start adjusting to the new standard.
Still referring to the new reality, he added that “with work now deeply rooted in-home policy, this would be naive to think that we will all revert to the old ways of working.”
Teleworking at home has many benefits and it’s a smart idea.
The Federal Republic member’s National Honour holder further stressed his stance saying “Is it really appropriate to fly halfway around the world to have a three-day meeting?” The answer to this question was really given by Covid-19. Soyewo said the virus really sent a big message to all business owners like myself that we had to change our travel mindset and re-examine our flying habits. And, in addition, we realized that business travel is not the trade engine as we thought it was.
Still dancing to the music of digital, now every individual must always adhere to health screening to enter any building or country to ascertain that no infectious disease/virus is present in that person. He further mentioned that every process will be automated in the coming years and that scanning equipment will become handy in every building.
He also noted that in the current digital spree, churches are not left behind as several people have come to realize that the body of Christ is the church and not the building as many online services during the lockdown further showed.
Soyewo said, “I, therefore, implore every Nigerian to stay safe as the lockdown encourages and certainly adapts to the use of digital in their daily lives and also strives to infuse it in their businesses as Covid-19 has come to stay.
